Another Cable Review!

Advantages: Durable; Brand name; Reliable
Disadvantages: Relatively expensive; Overkill for a 56k connection

...Cables are heavily underrated. Everyone always thinks their computer will run faster if they upgrade their hardware or OS, but the humble cable almost always gets ignored. So, Belkin came up with this 'high speed' premium cable to help convince people that they need a new cable to make their lives complete, or rather, make their internet connection 'as fast as a speeding bullet'. The Internet Modem cable, unsurprisingly, is used to connect your modem, be it internal or external, to your standard BT wall outlet. On one end you have the typical RJ-11 plug, and on the other, a BT plug has already been connected. This means you don't have to go out and buy any converters. The RJ-11 plug is of similar style to some of Belkin's RJ-45 plugs, with tabs protruding up the sides to prevent you from accidentally disconnecting the plug from its...

Belkin Power Cable

Advantages: Works perfectly, Fits Snug, Lengthy enough
Disadvantages: None

...I bought this for plugging in my computer because the power supply I had to buy did not include one. There isn't much to say on a power cable so this is about all I could think of. My main reasons for choosing this where because I knew Belkin is a very respectable brand for when it comes to electronic connector cables and its length suited my needs perfectly. I found that the cable fits very snugly into the back of my computer so that when it gets knocked about for some reason (kicking from mad frustration during games :) ) then it does not fall out. It is easily strong enough to hold its own weight in so it doesn't pull itself out- which is a problem one of my crappy computer monitors was having. This caused me to buy a second one for my computer monitor as I was overall 100% pleased with this one. It has never failed me causing in...

belkin Pro

Advantages: no
Disadvantages: ok

...the I needed to go away and get a VGA cable to hook it up and that's what I did. Since I have alot of things around my TV (lots of computers things and electricity) I didnt want any sort of crosstalk (disturbance on the cable from other electrical devices- its quite rare now but not unheard of) I made sure that i got a double shielded wire, the best one of these that i could find was the Belkin PRO series. This basically means that it has 2x the amount of protective sheath around the cable so that nothing can get through and distort the signal. Belkin are one of the leaders in computer products, they make everything from routers to cables and I have a few of their products and they have never gone wrong for me, so I trust them and their products. I went to my local computer shop and got this cable for the very reasonable price of £3...

Review of Belkin PRO Series VGA cable - 5 m

laptop on a TV screen

Advantages: watch movies on your tv from your laptop
Disadvantages: none

.... This cable is a belkin one, which is a company who have been making computer accessories and wireless devices for a number of years and are very well known for it. They are also well know for their good quality and reliable cables and make so many different types there one for whatever you need to do really. Because this is a VGA cable one end goes in your PC or laptop and the other in the back of your TV. It really a s simple as that. All laptops and pcs being made now have this capability to plug this cable into them and the port is usually a blue one which is longer but a little thinner than a USB port. Some really older pcs might not have the port however anything newer than 5 years should definitely have it. There are 2 screws on each of the ends which are there to screw into your pc or laptop and then your TV as well...

the cable that will last a lifetime

Advantages: strong
Disadvantages: none

...Now iv not done a review on USB cables before, really its just never hit me that I could actually write about these and there’s also the fact that there’s not really much you can say about a cable, but ill give it a go. This is a normal printer cable which means it has two ends, one being the end which goes into any USB port in your computer or laptop, this end is the rectangle shaped end and is called a type A. The other end is which goes into your printer, and don’t worry as nearly every printer made has this kind of end so it will definitely fit, and this end is kind of square in shape and is known as the type B end. It transfers data to your computer at speeds of up to 480 mbps, that’s megabytes a second which is really fast and is about 40 times faster than USB 1.1 cables. The cable its self is 1.8 m...

Review of Belkin FastCAT network cable - 10 m

Erm, it's a cable!

Advantages: Good build quality, brand name
Disadvantages: A bit pricey.

...Okay, so before everyone gets too excited at the prospect of reading a review about a network cable, I'll bring you all back down to Earth and try to convince you why this one is so great... If you've bought computer peripherals before, you will probably be familiar with Belkin, who are particularly well-known for their USB products. Belkin make all sorts of cables, including a variety of ethernet network cables. This is a Cat 5 standard network cable (coloured red, but you can get it in many other colours, including black, grey, yellow, green, blue etc). One of the major problems with network cables is their tendency to snag when bent through a small radius, and because of the way the individual wires are twisted around eachother inside the cable, this can lead to network errors. The Belkin cable claims to be snagless...

fast LAN

Advantages: fast, allows shared broadband, different lengths, cheap
Disadvantages: none

...since its bright red! Since its a Belkin it also has their life time warranty so if it should ever have a malfunction they will replace it for free, this is always good to know. The price of this item isnt that much i paid £15 for mine from p.c world though some cost more and some cost less all depends on the bandwith of the cable and the length. You can buy this product from places such as p.c world and dixions, or try www.freewebs.com/myshoppingmall here there is a link to dixions and p.c world so happy shopping...

Belkin 2-Port KVM Switch With Built-In Cabling

Advantages: Advantages: Cheap, all in one solution
Disadvantages: No manual overide or audio support

...has USB connections for the keyboard and mouse although Belkin do a range of KVM's so you can probably find a PS/2 equivelent if you have that sort of mouse/keyboard. The PS/2 models also include PS/2->USB adaptors so you'll also need those if you have a USB mouse and PS/2 keyboard. This particular model has no support for audio so if you need to also have your microphone and speakers switch from PC to PC, look elsewhere. The monitor, keyboard and mouse are then connected to the KVM to complete the set up. One bugbear is that like the vast majority of KVMs, this Belkin unit has cables going in one end and out the other making it difficult to place on a desktop without having cables hanging out everywhere. However, there is no reason why you can't just tuck it out the way out of sight as it has no parts you'd normally need to access...

Better cables for your consumer electronics

Advantages: its strong enough to worth it, last longer
Disadvantages: may cut if badly used

...Thinking of setting up your wifi or computer or some other consumer electronics, the Belkin Components Speaker cable is the leading and preeminent technology in the connectivity these. Its easy to use when connecting your consumer electronics together and has always been a success. It comes with pins for every ports you will need to connect and the cable is very good. Its strong enough and will hardly wears out. This is due to the fact that the cables are thicker. You will always need to know that you can never have your electronics at home better connected without cables and as such, you should be prepared for buying good cables. I bought this cable 7months ago and its just doing so well. Thanks to Belkin....
